The Painted Drawer on Etsy

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Wow, had a great day today :) Bought some ASCP and wax from a great shop in Falls Church, VA called Stylish Patina. I got to try out the wax when I got home before I had to leave again for my little one's Brownie meeting. I also made a SALE from my Etsy shop - The Painted Drawer. A great mom-to-be saw my gorgeous vintage dresser and is planning on using it as a changing table - it really is a perfect use for it! Another lady from California would like to purchase another piece but I need to figure out shipping. I have NO idea how to do that. I tried going on Uship but am still unsure how that works. I guess this is all a learning curve. Can't wait to paint my newly acquired, extremely sweet dresser in my new chalk paint tomorrow. Duck Egg is the color. I will post a pic or two once I figure that aspect of this blog out :) Cheers!
